[Alex Truelsen <dichotomousmind@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think this would make an interesting game. However, the proposal needs 
some editing...

I'm not sure, but this seems a little ambiguous - "at a time" would work 
just as well without the possible meaning that once used, a deck can't be 
used again.

Replace rule 3-2 of the Collectable Cards Rulebook with the following:

Why do you state the cost of a booster pack in the middle of a paragraph on 
starter decks?

Add to rule 7-1 the following:

I don't remember if "em" is the Spivak pronoun that doesn't exist or that I 
always used wrong. Either way, "All of eir cards in the battle are returned 
to eir deck" would be an easier way to say this.

If I may, I'm going to rewrite the entire paragraph a little:
"If at any time a player has exactly twenty Distance in the current Battle, 
they are eliminated from that Battle. All of eir cards in the battle are 
returned to eir Deck, and eir Deck is removed from the Battle. If the game 
has lasted for at least one nweek and there are at least two vacant Grid 
Locations, 2d6 and dX are rolled, where X is the player's Damage when they 
left the Battle. If the former roll is greater than the latter, a Dimship 
owned by that player is placed at a random vacant Grid Location. If the 
latter roll had the greater value, a wrecked Dimship is placed at a random 
vacant Grid Location."

After that, you'd need to define what a Dimship and wrecked Dimship are. Or 
just define Dimships for now - wrecked Dimships could do several things 
depending on what sort of framework is set up. Salvage, repair, mining... 
all possibilities.

"If a Player has more than 6 Damage at the end of a turn, a random Upgrade 
they own is scrapped."

That's seven slots. 

All slots may only hold one card except for cargo


...comma... 

which may hold up to 5 cards.


What if they had five Cargo slots? That would make the next sentence "If a 
card is played on an occupied slot, the player must choose one card to 
scrap."

If a card is played on a slot which has the maximum number of cards that

Put quotation marks around "battle" and "Race."
